Pitch Report

The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is traditionally regarded as batting-friendly. The wicket generally remains flat and firm in the early stages, allowing batters to play their strokes freely and accumulate runs. However, as the match progresses, spinners are likely to extract some assistance during the middle overs. Additionally, the quick outfield and relatively short boundaries further enhance scoring opportunities for the batters.
